04x17 - Who Is Superboy?

[bunniefuu]

(male narrator)

Rocketed from a distant planet

to a bold new destiny on Earth.

Found by a Kansas family

and raised as Clark Kent.

He learned he possessed

the strength of steel

the speed of light

and the desire

to help all mankind.

He is Superboy.

[music continues]

[music continues]

Don't you ever even think

about using a door?

It's midnight, I'm here.

So you are.

Very prompt and very brave

considering you know

I've got the kryptonite.

Gee, I wish

I could admire that.

This time, however,

I'm opting for a certain irony

in having you meet your end

at the hands of a, uh..

[laughing]

friend.

[intense music]

Bizarro.

[groaning]

I know just how you feel.

I hate family reunions.

[beeping]

(male #1)

And what happened then?

(Lana)

Uh, Bizarro Lana came out.

[computer beeping]

[music continues]

[computer beeping]

(Dennis)

I don't believe it.

But then again, I never thought

they'd be able

to colorize old films.

(male #2) This makes colorization

look like tic-tac-toe.

But how?

I mean, there weren't

any video cameras there.

How could they know

what it all looked like?

All it needs to recreate

an incident are some pictures

of the location, couple of

snapshots of the participants..

and an eyewitness account.

That's not the best part.

The computer's hooked into

over a thousand data banks

throughout the world.

They could tell you almost

anything about these people.

Want me to bring up, say,

Darla's medical records?

Ah, that's alright.

So, what do you think?

- I'm a little overwhelmed.

- Ha ha. Understandable.

I'll tell you what..

I'm gonna leave this thing

here until tomorrow morning.

No charge.

Use it. Get to know it.

Then we'll talk price, okay?

Okay?

I'm gonna come

back here tonight.

What for?

This computer is gonna

tell me something

I've always wanted to know.

- And what's that?

- Who Superboy is?

[dramatic music]

[computer beeping]

[siren blaring]

[intense music]

(male #3)

Stay back!

(male #4)

No, please!

[music continues]

- Oh!

- Oh, my God!

[cackling]

- What're you doing?

- I'll get through that line.

That's a bureau badge,

not a press pass.

So, who's got time to read?

You coming?

[music continues]

(all)

Oh!

[g*nsh*t]

[f*ring continues]

[music continues]

I want Superboy!

[music continues]

(male #5)

Oh, my God!

[applause]

You want me?

Here I am.

(Lana) Okay, now, here's

the beauty of this thing.

[computer beeping]

- That's what I need?

- It's just a crowd.

Reconstructed from

news photos, videos.

And Superboy has

to be one of them.

See, all I have to do is

go over the police reports

for our witness identifications

and descriptions.

And then just

do a visual scan.

(Clark) So now you've

got a lot of names.

He could be any one,

if he's there at all.

Oh, he's there alright.

(Lana) He's gotta

have a second identity.

That's why he always

shows up at the right moment.

Maybe he just flies in

at the last minute.

Why does he have

to be in the crowd?

Well, we'll find out.

There'll be a lot fewer names

once I cross reference.

- Cross reference?

- Yeah.

[computer beeping]

- But you don't understand, I--

- Sure I do.

There's a werewolf

running loose. It's his job.

He works here. Him and I

go bowlin' on weekends.

[werewolf growling]

No, this is a real one. It--

[werewolf growling]

[intense music]

[theme music]

[werewolf growling]

[crowd screaming]

[computer beeping]

(Lana) First, we'll I.D. them,

the same way we did before..

[computer beeping]

and then

we'll cross reference..

and see who was

at both incidents.

[intense music]

Justyou and me.

- That must mean that--

- I know what it means, Lana.

Do you?

I'd really like to hear.

It means that Superboy doesn't

just have a second identity.

He could have a third

and a fourth, even hundreds.

He could've looked

different at each incident.

Yeahhe could have.

But that means I've

to go back over everything

and do background searches

on everyone in the crowd.

Got to be thorough.

[computer beeping]

Is this the Bureau

of Extra-Normal Matters?

- Yeah, but we're closed.

- This will only take a minute.

It's about this rock

we dug up on the site today.

Well, what about it?

Well, uh, you're gonna

think I'm crazy.

- It's makin' noises.

- Noises? What kind of noises?

Words? Sentences? Haikus?

Hey, I know what I heard.

If you're not interested,

I'll just take this thing

someplace else where they are..

[dramatic music]

- Something..

- Superboy.

(male #6)

Careful.

[intense music]

(male #7)

Incredible.

I think it's some

kind of meteorite.

Whatever it is, we've

got to find a safe place for it.

[rumbling]

[expl*si*n]

[dramatic music]

[groaning]

No!

[computer beeping]

Where did all these

unknowns come from?

Clients, temps, passersby.

I'm lucky I remembered them all.

Now, you wanna go for a pizza?

One-one last

cross reference, okay?

But you don't really have to.

It's just gonna check on which

people have never been there

when Superboy showed up.

There probably won't eve..

[intense music]

[computer beeping]

[chuckling]

You think I'm Superboy?

[laughing]

That's crazy!

Look, I mean,

there are lots of people

who aren't around

when Superboy shows up.

And who's always gone

when Superboy's gone.

What do you mean?

(Lana)

Watch.

- Morning, Lana.

- Hey, Clark.

Looks like it's

gonna be a nice day?

Mm-hmm.

You know that benefit

Matt was talking about?

Sounded like fun, huh?

You don't get to go to

something like that too often.

[tires screeching]

- Was wondering if you wanted--

- Somebody's gonna get k*lled.

- Pardon?

- Look.

[tires screeching]

[whistling]

[whistling continues]

[tires screeching]

[intense music]

I'm sorry, what were you say..

[whistling]

Where were you

when that happened?

(Clark)

I know this sounds really lame

but I had to make

an emergency call.

What about the time

he lost his memory?

[computer beeping]

[intense music]

[theme music]

[expl*si*n]

Thinking about Superboy?

Yeah.

He'll turn up.

Well, the news reports

haven't been very encouraging.

Come on.

Remember who we're

talkin' about here?

I'm sure you're right.

[computer beeping]

(Lana)

He was right.

Superboy did come back.

Just about

the same time you did.

So, where were you?

Or don't you remember?

Oh, I remember.

(Clark) Lang, I'll give you

all the explanations you want

but that's not the real issue.

No? Then what is?

These recreations

are based upon your memories.

And when Superboy's around,

you don't notice me.

A-are you jealous?

Jealous? Well,

what do you think?

It's all over you.

(Clark) Well, I guess

I must not be Superboy.

I couldn't be jealous

of myself, could I?

You're just trying

to throw off suspicion.

I mean,

if you're not Superboy..

then you'll let me

try one more thing.

What's that?

I'm gonna combine all

the programs together.

Then I'm gonna let the computer

decide who Superboy is.

Unless you have

a problem with that.

No problem.

I'll even press the key.

[computer beeping]

You wrecked it!

[computer beeping]

(Clark)

It's running your program.

[computer beeping]

- What is all this, then, huh?

- It must be stuff you put in.

[computer beeping]

I-I can't.

I can't stop this.

[computer beeping]

[as*ault g*n f*ring]

[f*ring continues]

[expl*si*n]

[expl*si*n]

[f*ring continues]

Fire!

[theme music]

[as*ault g*n f*ring]

[dramatic music]

Those men almost

took over the city.

[intense music]

Whoa! Run!

[music continues]

What took you so long?

He risked his life to save me.

(male #8)

You mustn't do this.

With his demented mind

and my powers

he'll turn the world into a..

He's got to be stopped.

Frankly, I don't

see the problem.

I mean, it's pretty obvious

who is who here.

Luthor.

He's Luthor.

Sure he is.

You have to listen to this.

(man #1 on recorder) Deland

was the only one that knew

about our little switcheroo.

- And so, you k*lled him?

- Of course, I k*lled him.

Let's do it.

[electricity buzzing]

Did it work?

No.

No.

No!

No, no, no..

no!

We did it.

I figured it out.

He tricked Luthor.

He got lucky.

You are jealous, aren't you?

Was it luck?

He's always got a plan.

Even if it's taking

a second identity?

(Lana)

Yeah. Yeah, even that.

I'm not sure,

but if I know Superboy..

he's always got a reason

for everything he does.

Maybe to protect himself.

Or us.

Or us.

Yeah, it's probably for us.

Lana..

What are you doing?

- I must've been crazy.

- Huh?

I deleted everything.

I thought you wanted

to find out--

I did.

But if he wants to keep

something secret from us

I think we should respect him.

Don't you think?

Now, how about that pizza?

Absolute..

[alarm ringing]

You know,

I'm not hungry anymore.

Maybe tomorrow?

[siren wailing]

- Clark.

- I have to, uh..

go.

I wouldn't

dream of stopping you.

Goodnight.
